Florida native, with 20 years' experience fishing the surrounding waters of Bradenton and Anna Maria Island and 10 years as a licensed charter captain. My passion is getting kids involved in the outdoors, love to see the huge smiles and the excitement that the young guns bring on the boat with them. I love all types of fishing, before I became a guide, I was an avid Bass tournament angler fishing all FLW and B.A.S.S events in the southeast united states. I have dedicated my life and career to helping people create memories on the water that will last a lifetime.
